VR Simulation
Practise the skills of daily care until they feel like second nature.
The VR training behind the MetaMedicsVR CNA program: students practise the core skills of long-term care — guided care protocols, feeding, hygiene, mobility, nutrition, medication — with virtual residents, repeating each one until it holds up on a real shift.
Through the lens
A resident's room, exactly as students see it.
The student works in the room of a virtual resident, guided step by step by the care protocol on the room screen — here, the feeding routine.

What makes it different
-
Safety and hygiene, built in
Hygiene and safe practice are part of the routine from the first session — finding the right supplies, sanitizing, and working safely around residents.
-
Mobility without risk
Mobility is the most physical side of the job. In VR, students guide residents through mobility and balance exercises — without straining a classmate, or a resident.
-
The skills of daily living
Feeding and nutrition, everyday routines, personal care — the tasks that make up most of a long-term care shift, each practised step by step.
-
Medication, prepared safely
In the residence pharmacy, students prepare each resident's medication from their record — the right med, the right dose, the right time of day.
How a session runs
Every session follows the same loop — choose, perform, repeat, review.
From picking the skill to reviewing the attempt, students run the full care routine as many times as they need.
- 01
Choose
Pick the task
The student chooses where to work — the resident's room, the kitchen, the gym, the pharmacy — and checks the resident's record before acting.
- 02
Perform
Follow the protocol, step by step
Every step of the task is on screen — explain the procedure, sanitize, position, feed, record — and the student works through them in order, hands on.
- 03
Repeat
Practise to fluency
The next attempt is seconds away. Students repeat the skill until the sequence is fluent — not until the lab hour runs out.
- 04
Review
Evaluate the attempt
Each protocol ends in an evaluation, so students see exactly which steps they missed — and instructors see who is ready.
What it covers
A residence full of virtual residents
The simulation is built around virtual residents — older adults with their own records, capacities and needs — so every skill is practised on a person, not on a checklist.
Mobility and range of motion
Range-of-motion exercises and mobility support, rehearsed step by step so students learn to protect the resident and themselves.
Nutrition and diets
In the residence kitchen, students put together the diet each resident needs — picking the right foods, group by group, against the prescribed diet type.
